Neuroanatomical Maps and Taste Reactivity to Sweet, Umami, and Bitter Taste in the PBN of C57BL/6J Mice
… is relayed to the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) in the pons, where the taste and visceral information now overlap. The PBN has not been studied as extensively as the NST in terms of taste representation, especially in regards to umami taste. A few recent studies have indicated that taste …

Role of the Parabigeminal Nucleus in Predictive Tracking of Moving Targets
… layers of the SC (interconnected with the PBN) indicate both similarities and difference between the SC and PBN. SC cells respond to the virtual targets, but much less vigorously that PBN cells. However, the retinotopic representation of target location appears fairly good. SC cells reset …

Role of the Parabigeminal Nucleus in Visuomotor Behavior
The parabigeminal nucleus (PBN) is a small satellite of the superior colliculus, located on the edge of the midbrain. To identify activity related to visuomotor behavior, we recorded from PBN cells in cats trained to fixate moving and stationary targets. Cats tracked moving targets primarily with …

The detection and characterisation of novel alkyl spin-adducts of PBN and its derivatives using capillary gas chromatography coupled to electron-ionisation mass spectrometry
… agent N-tert-butyl-a-phenylnitrone (PBN). Novel aldehyde related radicals were produced via Fenton chemistry and trapped using PBN to form stable adducts that could be analysed via the combined techniques of gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS). The significant findings …

Arc expression in the parabrachial nucleus following taste stimulation
… NTS neurons is the parabrachial nucleus (PbN) and, like Arc, the PbN plays an important role in conditioned taste aversion learning. The aim of this thesis is to investigate Arc expression in the PbN following taste stimulation to elucidate the molecular identity and function of Arc …

An Interface of the Taste and Reward Systems in the Brainstem and Its Role in Feeding
… that the neurons of the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) projected to the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and lesioning the PBN attenuates taste-elicited release of DA in the nucleus accumbens, we hypothesized this connection plays a crucial role in the control of feeding, especially with regard to the …

A Case Study: Third Party Performance-Based Navigation Instrument Flight Procedure Design Regulations at the Federal Aviation Administration, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia, and the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand
… the demand for Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) IFPs beyond the capability or production capacity of many CAAs. Accordingly, commercial entities, referred to as Third Party Instrument Flight Procedure Designers (TPIFPD), have responded to the demand with service and product offerings to fill …

Circadian activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may affect central, but not peripheral, effect of lithium in conditioned taste aversion learning in rats
… expression in both the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) and the nucleus tractus of solitarius (NTS) in a dose dependent manner. However, intracerebroventricular lithium (0.6 M, 5 µl) at night failed to induce CTA or the HPA axis activation, although it increased c-Fos expression in the PBN and NTS. …

Inter-LAN services over broadband satellite systems
… topology to form a Private Business Network (PBN) over a broadband satellite communications system. Such a PBN consists of several User Terminals (UTs); each connected to the router of a LAN in a given plant. A satellite system supports a number of PBNs by dynamically sharing the satellite …

Design, Synthesis, and Photophysical Investigation of Porphyrin-containing Polymer-wrapped Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes
… to produce the porphyrin-containing polymer S-PBN-PZn. This polymer was utilized to helically wrap chirality-enriched (6,5) SWNTs, which resulted in significant quenching of the porphyrin-based fluorescence. Time-resolved spectroscopy revealed a simultaneous rise and decay of the porphyrin …

Modeling the effects of aircraft flight track variability on community noise exposure
… implementation of Performance Based Navigation (PBN) routes across the National Airspace System (NAS) has caused a significant concentration of flight tracks. This flight track concentration also creates a concentration of noise impacts on the communities surrounding airports, which has led to an …

MODULATION OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION AT THE NUCLEUS TRACTUS SOLITARIUS
… to brain regions such as parabrachial nucleus (PBN), hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), nucleus ambiguous (NA), dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) and are involved in integrating autonomic and neuroendocrine functions. …

Basics of detached Bridgman growth of Ge1-xSix crystals
… <br>Growth experiments were performed in pBN (pyrolytic boron nitrite) and fused silica ampoules. The detached crystals were characterized with respect to their crystal quality (defect density) and impurity concentration.

Computational Investigation of Spin Traps Using Hybrid Solvation Models.
… lesser known linear phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) and its phosphorylated analogues have been used as spin traps for the investigation of free radicals in biological systems. Theoretical work on these molecules suggests that there are important differences in their properties between biological …

Reactive Oxygen Species and Lipid Peroxidation Products Contribute to Neuropathic Pain in Chronic Spinal Cord Injured Rats
… When ROS was reduced in chronic SCI by using PBN, a ROS scavenger, there was a reduction in neuropathic pain behaviors and a reduction in hyperexcitability of dorsal horn neurons in rats. Compounds that reduce ROS and lipid peroxidation are able to reduce measures of chronic neuropathic pain. …

Aircraft noise modeling of dispersed flight tracks and metrics for assessing impacts
… implementation of Performance Based Navigation (PBN), such as Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP), has led to aircraft being able to fly designed flight tracks very precisely. This has led to communities citing the concentration of aircraft along one flight track as a …
